		John Fante was one of America's great writers, encountering equal measures of victory and defeat during a decades-long career.
		In Fante's case, it starts in 1930 when an impoverished young Italian-American man escapes his suffocating home in Colorado, armed only with a Jesuit high school education and the insane desire to write novels, and challenges Depression-era Los Angeles to deny him his glory.
		And over the next 10 years, not only is Fante's forgotten life's work brought back to readers, but previously rejected works are published, new ones are written and hundreds of thousands of copies are sold to a cult audience in America and a mainstream one in Europe.

		And today, finally, some 65 years after Arturo Bandini first slaved on the fictional factory floor of the Soyo Fish Company, "which bulged from the channel like a fl dead whale," he and his author are poised to taste at least a bite of the love and admiration they each so desperately longed for.
		"Fante thought he was better than Hemingway," said Stephen Cooper, a professor of film and English at Cal State Long Beach, whose biography of Fante, the first ever, will be published in February.
		Without John Fante, you are overlooking a major voice, maybe the major voice, in and of Los Angeles literature." But it’s not only his biographer, who has spent the last five years immersed in the late writer’s life, manuscripts, odd papers, friends and relatives, who shovels such praise.

	John Fante, “Ask the dust” « leggere libri
		A pochi giorni dall'uscita al cinema di Chiedi alla polvere, ho letto il romanzo di Fante da cui è tratto.
		L'ho letto in inglese, in libreria avevo adocchiato una bellissima edizione del Bandini quartet, e non sono riuscita a resistere alla tentazione, spinta anche dalla frettolosa lettura dell'introduzione scritta da Charles Bukowsky, bellissima (dei romanzi di Fante dice che sono "written from the gut and the heart").
		Ho passato il tempo in cui leggevo i due libri con un sorriso costante sulle labbra, quando non si trasformava in una vera e propria risata.

		Speriamo bene, John Fante è uno dei migliori autori del secolo scorso, lo apprezzo molto, ma in cinema ha sempre avuto scarsa fortuna, per ultimo Buona primavera Bandini (o giù di lì) con Joe Mantegna, un film a dir poco osceno che rovinava il romanzo di Fante.
